The Robotic Parking System uses only off-the-shelf, high-quality electricaland mechanicalcomponents with L10 lifetimes of 40,000 hours or above.As part of its strategic partnership with Robotic Parking Systems, GeneralElectric supplies all motors, electronics and automation controls for theautomated garage.

Every machine has built-in redundant components. In addition, at least twoof each type of machine is installed in the automated parking facility. Bothof the machines can perform the same tasks at the same time. Therefore, ifone machine needs maintenance or repair, there is always a backupmachine to keep the cars moving into and out of the garage.

The diagnostic system provides up to five different alarm messagingclassifications. These early warning indicators and alarms recognize andreport conditions before a problemoccurs. Messages are sent to thecomputer system on site and can also be automatically forwarded totechnicians' beepers or cell phones.

These early warnings ensure proactive maintenance and a high level ofuptime.
